Proverbs 27:7-9

International Standard Version

⁷ The person^[a] who is full spurns honey,
    but to a hungry person even the bitter seems sweet.

⁸ Like a bird that strays from its nest
    is a man who wanders away from his home.^[b]

⁹ Ointments and perfume encourage the heart;
    in a similar way, a friend’s advice is sweet to the soul.^[c]
